Saturday Sketch Time! Feela a Bella for Victoria!

Sep 22, 2007

Click Sketch to view larger image. This is a real “rough” version so you can get creative an add whatever you wish. I thought a sentiment block would be nice in the upper left corner-but for my card didnt have one that suited the “cause” GASP! Is it possible that I NEED more stamps? Maybe I didnt look hard enough? NO! I need more sentiments-for sure! Feel free to share some of your faves with me here today!

Well as you all read Tuesday was a tough day for me. Really tough. Put me in quite the FUNK! Alexa STILL has her cold-but is STILL hangin in there! Thanks for the prayers!

Amongst my many emails I found one asking for help. I do my best to participate in things for good causes as much as possible!

So, Bee , knowing about Alexa, sent me an email a few days ago about a girl Victoria. Victoria is in high school, and has Cancer-what a tough age to get Cancer! Not that its OK at any age, but as a girl, remember all the drama in High School? Having no hair amongst the many other challenges of CANCER AND TEENHOOD has to be so tough!

HELLO remember puberty and all the crazy changes and hormones up and down-add Cancer to that.

The goal her teacher has set out to achieve is to get her (Victoria) cards from EVERY STATE in the US! Well here is one from New Hampshire!

So for my Saturday Sketch I challenge YOU to represent YOUR state and make Victoria a card! We all make cards for NO REASON! Why not brighten a teen girls day? I realize this info was also on SCS for the color challenge. BUT some people dont read the challenges! So now you can see it here!

It doesnt have to be with my sketch although that would be kinda cool! LOL! Just send one if you can.

Feela Bella from New Hampshire!

OK I think TEEN cards are difficult! You dont want them to be like-“Um, like yeah, How old does she think I am three?!”

So my Bella’s to the rescue! See her bandanna? Cute huh? Made using the 1/4 ” circle punch. Only punched a quarter of the way.

Julie Masse read of my Bella plight and sent me a bunch of images! Isnt that sweet? Thanks Julie! I may be ordering SOON cause some of the newest ones are pretty irresistible.

I have been using my Bella’s alot these days. And boy was I ever greatful this one arrived when it did! I think she is TEENISH dont you? In all honesty if I had this stamp I would have omitted the curls. Oh well. Maybe Ill put her in my cart.

This is jammybella I believe. Julie also stamped the sentiment for me. It was perfect.

Ya know I colored this with my Copic’s! The ink did run a bit-not sure what type ot was stamped with but its ALL GOOD!

I hope she likes it! Patterned paper is SU!

Thanks for reading.

If you try the sketch link it here! Id LOVE to visit you, and see your take! As Im sure would the readers.

See ya back here tomorrow. I swear I have the cutest Smilebox of Amber. Such a proud Mommy Moment! I have lots of stamping to do. I got a project accepted by Paper Crafts that they need me to re-do! LOL! I guess they liked the idea but it wouldn’t fit their color scheme. So I was given the colors that it needs to be remade in.

Now you know how the pages all REALLY flow! No matter- Im extatic. It was the only thing I sent it. Plus their magazine all flowing like it does adds to the entire look.

I was also told by Lisa S. that I have a card in the newest Paper Crafts on page 18! I dont have my copy yet, so I will have to check it out!

What a great card for a teenager…she’s going to love it! I know I do. I luv Bella’s & don’t have any (their on my wish list) Jen from Pieces of Me sent me some Bella images, she’s such a sweetie. I’ll have to see if there is one that I can use for Victoria’s card. If not I will think of something. Thanks for sharing. Hope you all have fun at Alexa’s party.

Ok, so that bandana is too cute! And having cancer as a teen is definately a hard thing. My sisters good friend was diagnosed at 16, the hair was an issue as was gaining a lot of weight with all the drugs they had her on. It’s a tough time for sure.

I have made a card already, for the SCS challenge and it’s on the way from Washington state!

Hi
Just found your blog through someone elses. Your sketches are great so will be joining in weekly now.
Always good to get some card sketch inspiration.
The story about Victoria is really special. Do you think they’d want a card from the United Kingdom!!!! x
